Brother Wolf, Tennessee’s only Italian aperitivo bar and Esquire Best Bar 2022 recipient, today announces Jolene’s, its first-ever Dolly Parton themed pop-up. Conjuring an Appalachian saloon, it celebrates the “Patron Saint of the South” with craft cocktails, cowgirl chic decor and music inspired by the queens of country.
Cocktails and shots include:
Party Drinks $13
Cup of Ambition - BW’s signature Espresso Martini with a Strawberry Cream

Inspired by Dolly’s generous nature, Brother Wolf will donate a portion of Jolene’s cocktail sales to Imagination Library, her beloved charity. This book-gifting program provides free literature to Tennessee kids in an effort to end illiteracy.
The pop-up will also feature a “Big Gay Hoedown” on Monday, June 12, 2023, a country & western Pride event that raises money for Positively Living, a Knoxville LGBTQ charity.
